RALEIGH 531 ROAD FRAME c1970s/80s? 22 1/2in (ctt) with a 22 1/2in (ctc) top
tube. Wheelbase is about 41 1/2in. The frame number would suggest 1982 but I
have been unable to definitely determine the model. It has been suggested it
is an International; another person suggested a Competition GS. It is 122mm
across the rear ends and has clearance for 27 x 1 1/4in tyres. The lugs are
not ones I have seen before feature and an oval shaped cutout and the rear
ends are a short unbranded end with mudguard eyes. It is designed for use
with standard nut fitting brakes - not allen bolt. The frame appears to be
very sound with no dents but the paint is scratched and marked. It has been
repainted at some time. $130

F W EVANS TOURING FRAME 1931 22in with a 22in ctc top tube and dating from
1931. This is an unusually large size for the period and belonged for many
years to Len James, a well known rider in the CTC in North-West London. The
frame has all the special Evans features - the special Evans rear fork ends
which take screw adjusters - for this F W Evans was awarded the CTC Silver
Plaque in 1926 for the greatest improvement in cycle design. The bottom
bracket has Evans Direct lubrication system with two oil ports in the bottom
bracket shell. It has a Chater-Lea bottom bracket set fitted together with
BSA headclip. Many of the top framebuilders of the time thought this to be
the optimum combination of the very best fittings then available. Width
across the rear ends is 118mm suggesting that was probably originally
equipped with a Cyclo derailleur gear. The paintwork is in a poor state with
light surface rust in places but nothing that is at all structurally
important. Correct style Evans transfers are available from H Lloyd Cycles.
F W Evans was not himself a framebuilder but rather a man of ideas and a
bike shop proprietor. He was editor of Cycling magazine for a couple of
years in the very early 20s before setting up his first bike shop in 1922. A
patented feature of his frames was the Evans Direct Lubrication System. Oil
ports were provided in the bottom bracket, head tube and hubs enabling these
bearings to be easily oiled with an oil gun. They were much copied by other
makers but the Evans version actually had little channels to direct the oil
onto the bearings. A nice touch which made maintenance easier. More
important was his involvement with several prominent CTC hard riding
tourists (A W Romney, Hodites¹ and M H Clutterbuck were just some) in
building bikes specifically designed for touring. Very early on before
derailleur gears were being officially imported from France Evans built
bikes incorporating the Cyclo derailleur gear. When the Cyclo derailleur
became widely available by 1930 he featured special touring models with them
in his catalogue. $175

pedal threads are missing. New repro TA stickers are available and I can get
